Burying submarine cables#
Sector: Offshore renewable energy - Environmental impact mitigation
Classification: MSP - Development of the activity
Description#
Undersea cables within ocean energy development arrays and landfall connections can be buried to minimize Electric Magnetic Field (EMF) impacts. Example: Faraday cages for EMF elimination around wave energy devices.
